by Sleph~ nie Slept>ens
The gossip mill on campus
has been working overtime in

rumors concerning the "can­ccllalion"
ofSpringfesl and the
critical instability of the Un­dergraduate
Association (OA).
II wasdifficuh forSludenlS
to ignore the posters Ibal cov­ered

The polncrs abo slaled lhal if a

William Turner. £>resident

been a rouse 10 get stuocnts 10
allendthislnceling. Hcfcllthal
il was a necessary StCp 10 gel
Sludents aware of issues and
problems concerning the SIU ­denl
government (VA). Mr.
Turner asked that all gathered
"keep an open mind."' while lis­lening
to the many positions.
Mr. Tumcr!henraisedamotion
10 lhe noor that Dr. Paul Morris
function as moderator of Ihe
following proceedings. The
motion was carried 10 the noor
and oppose<! by a select few,
but majority ",led and the mo­lion
was granted. Dr. Morris
mentioned tllat he was appre­hensive
in his role as mediator
because he fel! thaI !he issues
wcrecntirelystudent related IlItd
should be handled by the stu­dents.
However. Dr. Morris
believed Ihat he rould simply
facilitale the proceedings and
announced thatlhe Parliamen­tary

Discussion of the Advisors
Role in the VA. dealt wilh is­sues
of alleged breaking of con­fidentiality
by lhc VA advi_
$01"5. Stated as well was that
advisors have been giving con­tradictory
information. and
were going againsl VA Execu­tive
Board decisions. Millty
students took lurnS at the mi­crophones
offering teSlimony,
crilicism. opinions. and com­ments
on the situation. How_
ever, since most of the issues
raised were often clouded by
personal jGdgments it was dif_
ficuhlOssccrtain exacllywhat
had happened. and pieces of
information seemed 10 be miss­ing.
1l!ere were SO many is­sues.
and underlying issues that
there &CCmed to be nOi enough
time tocover the issues fullyor
10 find resolution (0 them.
On Monday afternoon be­fore
the meeting each siudent
received in hisJher mailbox a
memo from Patrick Simpson.
VA Treasurer. regarding tbe
thefl of VA funds. The VA
fund. 3 ..... moni~. thaI pay foc
Sludenl ac t iviti es such as
Springfesl. comedians. year­book.
and other studenl orga­nizalion
budgets. These rev­enues
are received by Ihe UA
from the undergraduate stu­dents.
In Ihe itemized bill each
Student recdves it is shown
where lhe student pays 000-
hundred and fifly dollars as an
Undergraduatc Fee. In Ihe
mcmo. it was oUllined the steps
Mr. Simpson. Lee SI"'ble(Di­reclor
of Security), members
ofStudcnt Affairs stafT. look to
havea limely invCSligation.and
10 have missi ng monies re­turned.
The money was dis·
covered missing Mareh [7,
1996. two days afleT returning
from Spring Break. ManySlu­denlS
voiced the opinion thaI
!he SlUocnt body should have
been informed before Monday
nigh!"s mecling. Olher stu­dents
underslood that because
il wasan ongoing invesligation
and that to protect lhe confi·
dentiali1y of the personli ac_
cused it was necessary 10 keel'
a degree of secrecy. Mr.
Simpson in the memo and al
!he meeling said thaI all funds
had been returned and Ihal no
monies were missing from !he
VA accounts.
[lem number !h= on the
agenda dealt with the recent
Spring Elections. lbere was
confusion as towhethcrlhe]!O­sition
of Presidenl of the VA
and the posilion of Vice-Pres i­dent
of the UA had been filled
during the semes1er. Accord­ing
to minutes from a Presi­dents'
Council meeling beldon
December 4, 1995, William
Turnerhad in fact resigned from
his position. but after funher
thought had chosen to remain
as President. Also in a simi lar
case Dorine Crosley. Vice­President
of the UA had said
and wrilten a leuerofresigna­tion.
in December. but also
withdrew from thaldecision and
withdrew !he leucrdcclaring it,
deciding to conlinue with her
position for the reSI of Ihe se_
meSter. Confusion as 10 whal
Ihe VA Constitulion said per­taining
10 Ihis siluation, and if
the res ignations were valid was
in abundance. Anolher issue
of the elections concerned that
lhere was to be a run-off elec­tion
for lhe offICe of £>residenl
of the VA. however there was
confusion as 10 whelher one of
!he candidales Wi!liam Turner
had ofrtcially withdrew from
the r-ace. Mr. Tumer main_
ta ined that he had di.se ussed the
possibility of withdrawing, but
had not made a decision. and
!halthedccisioo forhimlo with­draw
was l1"IIldc on his behalf.
Due10alltbe problems fac­ing
the UA. William Turner
decided 10 shut lhe UA down.
This included Ihe canceling of
S pri ngfest and ot her st udenl ac­tivities
because !here would be
no funds coming into or leav­inglhe
VA 10pay foraclivities.
Mr. Tumcrfclt thal the UA was
in violalion of its own Consti­mlion
and could not function
under those circumstances.
However it was quesl ioned
wbelher the President of lhe
UA had the power to shutdown
!he VA wi1hout consulting lhe
Execulive Boord and lhc Sen­ate.
II was believed thal such a
dras1ic measure must be laken
in order to gel student panici­palion
on the issues that con­cern
their govcrnment. Some
slUdents believed that
Springfest would have gone on
wilh orwilh out the many hands
and comedians. that the spirit
of CQmmunity would keep it
alive. Others1udentsraised!he
point Ihal many would have not
atlended 1he meeting because
they were concerned about SlU­dent
governmenl, bUI because
they were concerned that with­out
Springfestthere would not
be !he mass drinking or party­ing
on campus.
At the end of the founh
agenda item the VA Executive
Board was called inlo II private
meeting. A ten minutes recess
wascalledby Dr. Morris. After
fifteen minule' behind closed
doors the membersoflhe board
returned wilh SOme resolulions.
A meeting of the Executive
Board was called for Wedncli­day.
andlhalasubsc\juent meeI­ing
that would be open for all
Sludents would be held in tbe
following week. the time ofthal
meeling 10 be announced at a
latcr time. II was also decided
thalthe UA would be back up
and running for business the
next morning at g am. and thaI
check requests would be made
and honored in lhe u~ual fash­inn.
so thaI nOSluocnl aclivities
would be canceled. Springfesl
was not CIUlCeIed. It was also
decided that in fact tbe posi­lions
of Prc!;ident and Vice­£>
residenl of UA had in fael
becn fi lled through OUt the se­mester.
11Ic Spring Elections
were declared to be valid.
If a <t..de"l would like 10

Discussion of the Advisors
Role in the VA. dealt wilh is­sues
of alleged breaking of con­fidentiality
by lhc VA advi_
$01"5. Stated as well was that
advisors have been giving con­tradictory
information. and
were going againsl VA Execu­tive
Board decisions. Millty
students took lurnS at the mi­crophones
offering teSlimony,
crilicism. opinions. and com­ments
on the situation. How_
ever, since most of the issues
raised were often clouded by
personal jGdgments it was dif_
ficuhlOssccrtain exacllywhat
had happened. and pieces of
information seemed 10 be miss­ing.
1l!ere were SO many is­sues.
and underlying issues that
there &CCmed to be nOi enough
time tocover the issues fullyor
10 find resolution (0 them.
On Monday afternoon be­fore
the meeting each siudent
received in hisJher mailbox a
memo from Patrick Simpson.
VA Treasurer. regarding tbe
thefl of VA funds. The VA
fund. 3 ..... moni~. thaI pay foc
Sludenl ac t iviti es such as
Springfesl. comedians. year­book.
and other studenl orga­nizalion
budgets. These rev­enues
are received by Ihe UA
from the undergraduate stu­dents.
In Ihe itemized bill each
Student recdves it is shown
where lhe student pays 000-
hundred and fifly dollars as an
Undergraduatc Fee. In Ihe
mcmo. it was oUllined the steps
Mr. Simpson. Lee SI"'ble(Di­reclor
of Security), members
ofStudcnt Affairs stafT. look to
havea limely invCSligation.and
10 have missi ng monies re­turned.
The money was dis·
covered missing Mareh [7,
1996. two days afleT returning
from Spring Break. ManySlu­denlS
voiced the opinion thaI
!he SlUocnt body should have
been informed before Monday
nigh!"s mecling. Olher stu­dents
underslood that because
il wasan ongoing invesligation
and that to protect lhe confi·
dentiali1y of the personli ac_
cused it was necessary 10 keel'
a degree of secrecy. Mr.
Simpson in the memo and al
!he meeling said thaI all funds
had been returned and Ihal no
monies were missing from !he
VA accounts.
[lem number !h= on the
agenda dealt with the recent
Spring Elections. lbere was
confusion as towhethcrlhe]!O­sition
of Presidenl of the VA
and the posilion of Vice-Pres i­dent
of the UA had been filled
during the semes1er. Accord­ing
to minutes from a Presi­dents'
Council meeling beldon
December 4, 1995, William
Turnerhad in fact resigned from
his position. but after funher
thought had chosen to remain
as President. Also in a simi lar
case Dorine Crosley. Vice­President
of the UA had said
and wrilten a leuerofresigna­tion.
in December. but also
withdrew from thaldecision and
withdrew !he leucrdcclaring it,
deciding to conlinue with her
position for the reSI of Ihe se_
meSter. Confusion as 10 whal
Ihe VA Constitulion said per­taining
10 Ihis siluation, and if
the res ignations were valid was
in abundance. Anolher issue
of the elections concerned that
lhere was to be a run-off elec­tion
for lhe offICe of £>residenl
of the VA. however there was
confusion as 10 whelher one of
!he candidales Wi!liam Turner
had ofrtcially withdrew from
the r-ace. Mr. Tumer main_
ta ined that he had di.se ussed the
possibility of withdrawing, but
had not made a decision. and
!halthedccisioo forhimlo with­draw
was l1"IIldc on his behalf.
Due10alltbe problems fac­ing
the UA. William Turner
decided 10 shut lhe UA down.
This included Ihe canceling of
S pri ngfest and ot her st udenl ac­tivities
because !here would be
no funds coming into or leav­inglhe
VA 10pay foraclivities.
Mr. Tumcrfclt thal the UA was
in violalion of its own Consti­mlion
and could not function
under those circumstances.
However it was quesl ioned
wbelher the President of lhe
UA had the power to shutdown
!he VA wi1hout consulting lhe
Execulive Boord and lhc Sen­ate.
II was believed thal such a
dras1ic measure must be laken
